VCCA Home Forums Thread Like Summary - 54 Belair steering

I’ve replaced the idler arm and the steering is still sloppy. What should I look at next? Spring is coming and time to start working again in the garage

I would check all front steering /front axle parts - in addition to Chev Nuts suggestions tie rod ends and wheel bearing adjustment.

Make sure your check includes the suspension arm bushings.

Steering gear adjustments.
Broken spring in drag link.

Best to follow in shop manual.
